...then once you arrived at Dunn's river falls it was time to climb! At first I thought that I would stand and watch, but I really wanted to try the climb and found that I managed pretty easily when following my own rules. You are asked to hold hands with the person in front and the person behind you, however at certain times I found that I needed both hands to climb the rocks (especially where it can get a bit slippery). It is, however, a good idea ...

There are allocated camera men for each party of people who will film your whole journey ...

...say about my experience of Dunn's River Falls but FANTASTIC !!! My husband and I enjoyed it so much we did it twice !! You travel to it by coach ( probably best to arrange the trip through your hotel as we did, to ensure you are going with a reputable coach and guide). When there you are split into small groups (depending on the number of people on you transfer coach and you get assigned to a guide. Our guide was called Chicken and a nicer guide ...
...you for safe keeping (so you don't ruin it when you get wet (and believe me you WILL get wet) He leads you up the waterfall in stages so it is never too tiring. He also takes photos of you with the water running over with your own camera. When you reach the top there is a small market selling traditional Jamaician wears. This can make you feel a bit wary as there seems to be people constantly trying to get you to buy their products (but it is no ... Read review
